Here at CSA, we love spooky season! Join your CSA E-board on a little field trip to University Mall Theatres to watch a scary movie together. We can provide transportation on a limited basis! Movie choice will be decided through Instagram stories so stay tuned! Also, we believe Student Involvement in the Hub can offer you discounted movie tickets so check them out!

ƒÑü Lime Night ƒÆâƒÅ¢
Mark ya calendars... Lime Night is back again! CSA is excited to present to you talents from Puerto Rico, Cuba, Dominica, Antigua, Trinidad and Tobago, El Salvador, and more! We look forward to seeing everyone there, ready to enjoy the culture and pay homage to the art of our heritage.
If you do not have a fixed plan for post-graduation and feel lost, this event is for you. Connect with Caribbean professionals who can answer your questions, provide insights into their experiences, and alleviate some of your concerns. Come prepared to network with an updated resume!
Suggested dress code: Business-casual attire

ƒî┤ The Caribbean Diaspora ƒôû
Caribbean history is often poorly taught in American schools and skimmed over briefly in the 13 years before college. CSA believes this is an injustice to our ancestors and descents and we want to alleviate that gap. This will be an informative GBM full of interesting facts, trivia, and tributes to our past as a people. Your president, Kristen, will be leading this meeting but if you have an abundance of knowledge, we'd love to fit you into the agenda as well! We encourage anyone, regardless of the previous study of Caribbean history, to come to this meeting.
Registration is live on Mason360!
